The masonic care community is a manifestation of the dedication of masons to the principle of brotherhood of man under the "fatherhood of god," a home offering both physical and spiritual comfort. It is more than just a "place to live," as it is a place filled with love and it is our hope that it will remain so as long as it shall endure. It is with these thoughts that the masonic care community receives its guests. The masonic care community is a multilevel long term care residential community providing nursing care, adult care and independent living apartments. The masonic care community is committed to providing a holistic approach to the care of our residents, which promotes maximum functioning and independence in all aspects of their life. This commitment to quality of life requires that we always involve the resident, family and interdisciplinary team when making decisions regarding care. By doing this, we ensure the residents will maintain their dignity and self-worth.
